May 30, 2025
The market for unlocked Android phones is booming and Nuu Mobile has you covered with an entire line of low cost options. The latest addition: The X4 with its sleek design, metal exterior and bright 5-inch screen. Just as valuable is the fact that it supports dual SIM cards, so you can have two phone numbers assigned to the unit or even get a second SIM when you're traveling overseas. Very, very useful.

hi Dave Taylor here and this time I want
0:12
to talk about Android phones now I don't
0:14
want to talk about Samsung or HTC or LG
0:18
or any of the big brands because there's
0:20
this whole world of other companies that
0:22
are making Android phones and the one
0:24
I'm holding it's a very nice very well
0:27
designed phone with a nice bright 5-inch
0:29
screen this is from a company called new
0:32
mobile and uu mobile and what makes this
0:36
interesting is not only is it a very
0:38
well designed phone with its metal edges
0:41
and the beveled side you can sort of see
0:44
that but what's really interesting is
0:47
it's a dual SIM cell phone what does
0:50
that mean that means that you can use it
0:52
just like a regular phone you can have
0:54
it on your carrier you get your phone
0:55
calls you get your text messages and
0:57
everything but then when you want to
0:59
travel you can put a second SIM card in
1:01
for your destination country or perhaps
1:04
you're one of those people that has two
1:05
cell phones you have one for work and
1:07
one for home you could have both phone
1:10
numbers on this phone and it actually
1:12
lets you let you very easily switch
1:14
between the two and I really like the
1:17
idea of dual sims because it really
1:19
gives you the ability to be much more
1:21
flexible particularly when you're
1:23
traveling overseas and I'm gonna tell
1:26
you all about this phone I'm gonna hold
1:27
off on how much it costs because you
1:29
will be amazed at how inexpensive this
1:31
is so this comes with a 1.3 gigahertz
1:34
quad-core MediaTek processor so it's
1:38
pretty speedy it's running android 5.1
1:40
lollipop how quickly they'll move over
1:43
to marshmallow when that comes out I
1:44
guess we'll have to see but they're in
1:46
the same boat as everyone else with that
1:48
this one has 16 gig of memory and a
1:52
microSD card reader and very helpful
1:56
it's very nice to be able to slip in a
1:57
micro SD that you might have actually
1:59
downloaded a bunch of movies or your
2:01
favorite CDs on to see zinc aluminum
2:04
alloy case as I was saying this is
2:07
actually metal on the edges it's not a
2:09
plastic that's painted to look like
2:11
metal it has a really nice
2:13
feel to it I really like this phone in
2:15
terms of its sort of aesthetic
2:17
experience um the 5-inch screen is a
2:20
1280 by 720 and it's a very clean
2:26
looking display I know that you can't
2:28
really see it very well but it's crisp
2:30
it's very attractive-looking
2:32
certainly very usable I would not be at
2:35
all embarrassed about this phone if I
2:37
was using it 13 megapixel camera in the
2:40
back five megapixel camera in the front
2:42
and it's interesting because it has some
2:44
sort of air gesture stuff I'm really
2:46
experimented with this much but the idea
2:48
is that you can like wake the phone up
2:50
by just sweeping your hand over it now
2:53
new mobile doesn't document this very
2:56
well so this might just be sort of a
2:57
generic Android thing for phones that
3:00
have that level of sophistication I'll
3:02
let you do the research on that but
3:03
really pretty slick stuff and finally
3:06
like I said it's a dual 4G LTE SIM and I
3:12
told you I'd save the price to last how
3:14
much would you pay for this smartphone
3:16
this five-inch beautiful color dual SIM
3:20
Android phone well whatever you're
3:22
saying I'm sure you're gonna be
3:24
surprised that it's only a hundred and
3:25
sixty-nine dollars and that's completely
3:27
unlocked they send you the phone in a
3:30
box with all the other usual stuff the
3:32
charger the earbuds and everything and
3:34
that's it you can now go buy whatever
3:36
SIM you want you could even go and get
3:38
the pay-as-you-go Sims so I see these
3:41
sort of phones particularly great for
3:43
teenagers for the elderly for people
3:46
that really aren't hugely into mobile
3:48
devices but want to have a decent one
3:51
when they do want to use it and a
3:53
pay-as-you-go can be insanely cheap
3:55
we're talking like 20 bucks every three
3:58
months type of thing if you use it a lot
4:00
maybe that's not going to work but if
4:02
it's primarily just that you want it is
4:04
a remote computing device which really
4:05
is what these guys are these are really
4:08
just little tiny pocket computers this
4:10
is a real really nice device so the new
4:14
x4 dual SIM LTE 5-inch color screen you
4:21
can learn more about it at new
4:22
mobile.com and you you mo bi le
4:26
and I will just really quickly say that
4:28
it also has available they have cases
4:31
for this exact device which turns out to
4:34
be helpful one of the challenges you
4:36
have when you buy these sort of third
4:38
party Android devices is you don't have
4:41
that world of peripherals and extras
4:43
that everyone else has so this little
4:46
device case here it's nice it's a sort
4:49
of very rigid rubber it certainly is
4:51
gonna complement this and it's about 25
4:54
bucks on their website - oh and one more
4:56
thing for those of you that remember the
4:58
good old days of Samsung Android phones
5:00
and for those of us that have iPhones
5:02
and have never experienced this it has a
5:05
battery on the back you can pop out so
5:07
if you really need to you could actually
5:09
have two batteries and keep both of them
5:11
charged and then when you're halfway
5:13
through a really long day in the field
5:15
or something switch batteries and you're
5:17
good to go again so me I actually kind
5:20
of prefer chargers but I know a lot of
5:22
people really like the ability to switch
5:24
batteries so this is Dave Taylor and I
5:27
think I'm gonna go travel to somewhere
5:29
exotic and try the second sim so I'll
5:31
see you in my next video
